Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice issues arrest warrant for prosecutor Radu Bucurică, placed under national investigation
According to Google News RO — Crime (ro), prosecutor Radu Bucurică was placed under national investigation, and the Supreme Court of Cassation and Justice issued an arrest warrant against him, after judges at the Alba court had left him at liberty.
The Supreme Court's decision directly contradicts the solution adopted by the Alba judges, who had refused the deprivation of liberty of the prosecutor. The Supreme Court intervened subsequently, ordering his arrest following the opening of an investigation at national level.
The Bucurică case illustrates a procedural tension between lower courts and the supreme judicial body in Romania, in the context of a case in which a representative of the prosecution finds himself in the position of suspect.
